Don't get too excited! lol.
I'm moving my connection over to adsl2 and the upgrade is marked down for 22nd. Lets see how unstable my line gets now! ;D
Has anyone had any downtime when they got moved over? I've got the 22nd down as "out of the office" just incase, I dont trust BT ;D
I had about 15-20 minutes of downtime, Paul. The next 10 days were quite interesting, though, ADSL2+ seems much more noise sensitive.
My current stats are :
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 6112 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 38.0 db 24.0 db
Noise Margin 14.7 db 27.0 db
No idea why my noise margin stayed at 15.. I went to bed one night and the logs showed lots of disconnections (probly BT) and its defaulted my noise margin to 15, it was fine at 12 :(
I've only upgraded for the extra bandwidth and upstream.
You start a new training period with WBC, so hopefully you'll get a lower NM back.

I wouldn't care if they left it at 12 to be honest, at least there's enough to play with!
Mine moved from 9 to 12, then back to 6, then 3. IDNet put me on the trial of the new management system and locked down my profile at 6db. As a result, I've gained 1.5M over Max.

If mine stays at 6db, what speed should I be looking at?
Around 11.6M sync, 10.3M throughput after the profile has bitten plus overheads.

Ta, even though BT says 5.5mb on my line for adsl1, at 6db I get full 8megs! just wish my line wasn't so cr*p!
Don't we all? ;D
My line has more mood swings than my missus! now if she reads this I will get a slap :out:
;D
I'm just texting her, Paul. :evil:
now where did I put the door keys! :back:
:eek4:
;D
;D
Im thinking of upgrading too so might wait and see how it goes for you Paul :D :D :D
how come the date is 22nd seems a long wait.I was under the impression t could be done soon as, or is it a BT thing
It depends on BT and equipment availability, Baz. It's a physical wiring change, unlike a normal package change.
ah right. so yet again you're in the hands of good old BT...
My upgrade was placed through the websites late on friday. IDnet came back today with the 22nd, so I guess BT are busy. But they seem to be giving a 7 day timescale to everyone lately.. my mate just moved house and got a 7 day wait aswell..
He's coming to IDnet with phone and broadband ;D
The more the merrier.

me too just sent in the form today :) no date yet though.will let you know
it better be worth it :)
It will be.
cool :thumb: :thumb: definitely a bargain though
i should do some befores and afters shouldnt I
Just be patient during the 10-day training period.
i'll be ok its the mob who wont be ;)
have been emailing with Brian and Miriam and the have kindly checked out if my router is compatible which it seems to be and I just had a look to see if I have the latest firmware for it... :thumb: :thumb:
Most router issues seem to have been resolved now, Baz.
thats sounds good then :)
Well if you don't hear from me tomorrow, you know BT have cocked something up!
I just hope my line doesn't get any worse!
:bye: :evil:
damn..i was gonna wait until Paul tried it out wasnt I ;D
You were, Baz. ;D
too late...he can still tell us how it goes though :)
just got my date, 29th,those IDNet guys even work on a sunday :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

BT seems to be working in 7 day time scales lol.
My upgrade = 7 days,
Baz upgrade = 7 days
My mate moved house = 7 days connection wait
Customer : "Hi BT, I'm just wondering how long this will take...."
BT : "7 days"
Customer : "Wait, I didnt tell you what I want"
BT : "Ok, still 7 days"
;D Trouble is 7 days is nearly one and a half weeks.
It's a wonder that, in this day and age, BT still maintain a 5-day working week.
I'm here still, nothing happened yet!
It can be any time during the day, Paul. You'll know when as you'll have 10-20 minutes of downtime.
Yeah James said up to midnight.. When did your account change on IDnet website?
I really don't know, Paul.
Rik, When you moved to ADSL2, was you put on a default profile?
I know when I changed from Tiscali I was put on a 2mb profile until the exchange changed it in the 10 days.
I think so, but the default isn't too far off my normal speeds anyway. The profile came up pretty quickly.
:bore:
Do some work ;D
I've actually taken today and tomorrow off. Giving my RSI a break!
And well, I don't trust BT to do something correct and tomorrow I'm getting a new aerial fitted and cables dropped down into every room for when normal TV gets switched off at the end of the month.

haha.. still waiting! :bore:
You watch it.. I'll start a download, get to like 98% and BT will pull the plug.
Told you that it would happen lol.
Backup.. that was quick.
To judge by your sig, Paul, it wasn't worth making the move. ;)
haven't really gained anything on downstream as my margin is still 15 :(
before:
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 6112 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 38.0 db 24.0 db
Noise Margin 14.7 db 27.0 db
after:
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 6592 kbps 936 kbps
Line Attenuation 42.0 db 22.8 db
Noise Margin 15.1 db 5.6 db
Give it time to settle. You have doubled your u/s.
but starting a new 10 days should mean a margin reset as it wont get the true MSR?
Mine never shifted from the default I carried across from Max, 9db in my case.
I've always wondered this.. why does line attenuation go up when you upgrade?
When I was on 512kb my LA was 34db,
ADSL max it went upto 38db,
Now ADSL2 its gone up to 42db.
Higher frequencies used suffer more from attenuation, Paul.
ta, now I know why ;D
That's two things I've learnt this afternoon, best be careful ;D
(other one is that adsl2 doesn't use noise margin like adsl1 did)
Quote from: psp83 on Mar 22, 2010, 17:35:16

In what sense, Paul.
when you upgrade do you need to reboot router or just leave it
Leave it, Baz, the exchange work will force a re-sync.
ok thanks
how do you know when its done, do you get notice or will you just see a drop in connection,maybe if you are online at the time.Will it be on the day stated in the email ive had
You would see a drop in connection if you're around at the time. The quickest was to check is to look at the upstream speed in the router.
ok thanks again.
heres a before test
(http://www.speedtest.net/result/761944184.png) (http://www.speedtest.net)
Definitely not changed yet, Baz. If it's scheduled for today, I'd call support now to see if they can tell you anything, they close at 6.
no...sorry Rik a bit misleading a bit there.my date is monday im just getting prepared....early :laugh:
Ah, relax then.
Mine went down for about 10 mins.
5 days in and my downstream has not changed and I'm still on my 15 noise margin from adsl1, not had any disconnections so this leads me thinking if there is actually a "10 day training" period.
If the downstream doesn't change by the 2nd April I will phone support.
There is definitely a training period, Paul, I watched my line start high and drop till it found a stable point.
The only thing that changed on my upgrade was upstream. a slight increase in downstream but I've got higher on a good noise margin day when rebooting the router when on adsl1. So this makes me think something is stuck somewhere.
I bet if I reboot the router tomorrow my sync speed will go lower than it was on adsl1.
If it happens, let IDNet know on Monday and they may be able to kick the tyres for you. However, BT are usually reluctant to do anything in the 10 days.

I'll wait to wednesday. 10 days is over then. Unless BT's training period is there working week and not a straight 10 days ??? :D
It's a straight 10 days.
Thanks.
Might aswell leave it to the 10 days is over with, then BT have no excuses, except for the usual "no problems found", "line not fit for broadband" etc.
Plus it gives IDnet a few more days break before I get on there backs again over my bloody annoying line ;D hehe

Your u/s sync speed will increase, Baz.
ok thanks :thumb:
:dunno: :dunno: :dunno:
do BT have a time scale to get this done by
I think it's anytime today, Baz, not like the old 6pm cut-off that applied to Max.
DOH!!!! that might explain it then.
but...BT working late :o :o surely not
Many changes are made overnight, but I'd have expected this to be a day time job as it involves physically moving cables at the exchange.
Hmmmm well not yet
perhaps BT took the batteries out the clocks insted putting it forward an hour.. so they still think its sunday! :evil:
oh and IDnet got BT to nudge my margin today.. from 15 to 9.

Both. ;D The router figure seems to be the actual speed, the BT test seems to be the nearest figure that BT recognise.
emailed support last night.got this today
Hi Baz,
BT have advised this morning they are currently unable to complete the
order as they have lack of capacity at the exchange. Engineers are
currently working within the exchange to deliver further capacity,
however BT have advised they will be unable to process any orders within
the exchange for ADSL2+ until after 20/04/2010.
Kind regards,
Brian

Absolutely typical, Baz. They didn't know until yesterday?? I don't think so. :mad:
thats just what I thought Rik.wonder if support will chase it up or it might not be worth it.Did they not check first and how or why did they give IDNet that date :dunno:
idiots
Support won't be able to do anything until April 20, sadly. :(
>:( spoilt my day now.was looking forward to it, should've known better really
I despair with BT, they don't seem to know what's happening or, when they do, they don't bother to communicate until it's too late. :(
yep you're dead right there Rik.Have they ever been any different?
About 40 years ago, yes...

All sites I looked at said 11megs, but ohwell.
BT had to manually drop my noise margin from 15 to 9.

Weird that my speed is faster than my profile :laugh:
The tester doesn't seem to handle WBC very well. Don't you love the optimism of BT too, 600-7150 is an acceptable range. :shake:
Since BT change the margin to 9 my connection has been fine, I've not had any disconnections etc, the sync stayed at 9171 kbps since Monday when the margin was changed. Today without any reason I can see, the noise margin has defaulted back to 15 and my sync speed is worse than what it was on ADSL1.
I've done all the usual things over and over, a BT engineer came out and put in the new master socket last year, He said the line was fine and was syncing full speed on their modems, I've done several router changes, even got one that has a Broadcom chipset in that's meant to be good on rubbish lines. There's no extensions, Router is connected directly to the main telephone socket with a shield RJ11 cable at 1m in length.
I'm seriously getting fed up with this cr*p line having mood swings! I used to get full 8 megs on this line when I first joined IDnet.
Question is, do I get IDnet to change me back to ADSL1 (I know its only a setting change), If I do, what do I loose? does the upload speed get reduced ?
You'll lose upstream speed, Paul, unless you opt for a Super/Business package. I actually get a better upstream speed from Supermax.
well dont know if theres been some backside kicking from support but just got an email saying my upgrade has been completed :o
didnt expect any thing until after the 20th.What do I do now then just leave it.what should I expect,going from pauls experiences it doesnt sound good.

tried this morning before going out and got 10 000 Kbps+ will these keep changing while training and what does it settle on after the training time.I know the speed testers are not very reliable but which one do you believe if any :dunno:
Believe the BT one, Baz, or download a reasonably large file and time it. Speed test sites can give all sorts of results due, for example, to server load or an interaction with AV or other software on your machine.
I know its early days but just want to keep an eye on it,especially after reading other bother people are having.
You got any large file links I could try Rik
Try these, Baz, we can be sure they are safe. Make sure yours is the only computer connected to the router at the time and, ideally, boot into safe mode with network support.
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/download.html
cheers Rik.why the need for safe mode and will I be able to with a wireless keyboard,im sure I had this bother before
Safe mode stops any background processes, Baz, so you get a 'purer' result. If you CMOS supports USB legacy devices, the keyboard should be OK.
how does the training period work and what is it doing.so far ive had good and really bad results from the tests ive done and yes as others seem to be having slower than when I was on Max.It also looks like ive had a couple of dropped connections as the router stats page is showing re starts and on the WAN the uptime is only showing as 2 hours
The 10 day training period in theory is supposed to set up your line for the new connection and workout the fault threshold. However since your line is always being "trained" its a bit of a misnomer, the one thing you can't do during the training period is have a fault on the broadband side investigated by BT.
We know adsl2+ is more sensitive to interference so these dropouts could be due to that,you'll just have to hope it settles down.
Echoing what Steve said, Baz, the DLM on WBC seems to operate on a hair trigger so you will see a lot more drops as every time it tweaks a setting, it drops the line.
so how does it settle on what speeds I will get after the training as ive had some really bad speeds so far,on the low side that is.Hope it doesnt select the low ones as the norm
It will look for the maximum stable rate, as with all ADSL, Baz. What we're seeing, though, is that some lines just don't take to the ADSL2+ modulation, though the majority do. If it doesn't work out, IDNet can revert you to ADSL modulation, though you retain the higher upload speeds and the bandwidth allowance. I gained 1-1.5M myself, depending on which way the wind is blowing. ;)
Ive seen that mentioned before about switching back,all seems a waste of time if it doesnt work doesnt it :(
I wouldnt really benefit from faster upload speeds I think.what are you on now then Rik have you switched back
No, Baz, for me WBC was a success story. The important thing, though, is that once you're on a WBC connection, regardless of the modulation, you keep the extra bandwidth allowance.

wwwoooohhhoooooo ;D ;D we like extra stuff

Obviously any weaknesses in your home broadband setup are going to be found out on adsl2+
Quote from: Steve on Apr 10, 2010, 13:38:02
Obviously any weaknesses in your home broadband setup are going to be found out on adsl2+
was that not the same with ADSL.what sort of weakness Steve
Noise, Baz. It was true of ADSL, but ADSL2+ is much more sensitive to noise, due to the higher frequencies used.
where does the noise interference come from,I bet you going to say that my router,sat behind monitor and in between telephone,printer and external HD is a prime place for some :)
Almost anything electrical, Baz - it might even be between you and the exchange, eg an industrial plant. You can check for internal noise by getting hold of a battery powered AM radio, de-tuning it so you only have white noise, then following the phone line from entry point to router. If you hear an increase in the noise level, you've found a noise source.
well I hope it picks up as im on day 4 and down to speeds of 2.45Mbps :(
You may be one of the unlucky ones, Baz. The good news is that you can revert to ADSL modulation if that's the case, gaining your d/s speed back, gaining some u/s speed and retaining the extra bandwidth allowance.
do you think it should be better speeds by now Rik.I just dont understand how it can be worse than before when they advertise it as better :dunno:
The line is finding its feet, Baz. ADSL2+ produces increased speed for most people, but some lines just can't handle the extra frequencies are are better as Max modulation.

Slightly slow throughput for the profile, Baz, profile is correct for the sync speed. Remind me what you got with Max, will you?
sure Rik here (http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=19314.msg466231#msg466231)
That looks like you're a prime candidate for re-modulation, Baz.
damn >:( >:( >:( what a waste of time...and money.why do BT do this,say you may get this speed or that speed then fail to come good.
I suppose i'll wait until the training time is up and see how it goes.got some suggestions from support to try but I cant see it working now.
It's not all bad, you should have more upstream bandwidth and of course you'll retain the more generous download allowances. I do know how you feel though, the same thing happened to me when I switched.
do you get the switch over fee back,like a refund when you return a faulty goods
I didn't Baz, although I didn't ask for one.
You don't Baz, it's a fee payable for an 'as is' service. BT would simply argue that the line is delivering a broadband service. OTOH, if you use the bandwidth, you'll cover the fee in a couple of months or so.
well im out of the training period now and am just monitoring things.Had a bit of a slow few days early on but did some testing suggested by support,in the test socket with filter in etc and also did router reboot at the same time.Things are looking good so far with a BT test showing this

thats what I was thinking Rik but I dont know enough about it to say so :) its not always that way though,has been lower most of the time

Im not complaining but if you look back a few posts you'll see what I have been getting lately,just after the training period.Also did a speedtest.net test and got 3.45 download speed.theres no chance ive gone back into another training period is there as this is how it started when I initially switched.
Baz your connection is always being trained at the exchange the only difference is that during the initial training period you cannot report a broadband fault. Low throughput for a given profile is usually due to congestion somewhere along the path or a high error count
Today my speed is also down, normally get around 5.3mb today I'm lucky to get over 2mb.
Pings are normal though.
its really slow this afternoon.hope this is not the norm or i'll be moving back I think
As you can see by a BT speed test, My speed is normal.
Download speedachieved during the test was - 5139 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :6352 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 1016 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 5500 Kbps
But speed test sites show different :

maybe just one of those days then.will give it a while and see if it picks up or we get reports of any bother

As Steve says, line management is constant, Baz, but you're getting correct throughput for your profile, which is correct for the sync speed, iow, as far as BT are concerned you line is behaving just as it should.
I think the speedtest sites and/or the internet in general is performing poorly in relation to the BT speedtest.
Back to normal now.

I just do not understand the BT tester.since switching to ADSL2+ it settled down after the training period and I was getting good speeds.Was getting connection speed down of 10685 and up of 888,a 9000 profile and actual speed achieved of around 8750 up to 9000+ sometimes.great :thumb:
Had a little dropped connection this week and when it got running again after a reboot got this 12598 down 888 up 9462 actual and 9000 profile.have just looked today and got this
Download speed achieved during the test was - 5980 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 1000-99999 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :12598 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 888 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 11000 Kbps
The throughput of Best Efforts (BE) classes achieved during the test is - 10.77:29.21:60.02 (SBE:NBE:PBE)
These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic.
:dunno: :dunno: :)
Exchange congestion from the look of it, Baz.
